Low thyroid can cause a Black Depression, Joan Mathews Larson, PhD
In this video clip, Joan Mathews Larson notes that in patients she has seen with depression caused by low thyroid, they have a Black Depression. She also notes that low thyroid function can cause • Headaches… • Carpal Tunnel Syndrome • Menieres Disease (disease of the inner ear which can affect hearing and balance) • Vertigo (may fall frequently) • Tinnitus (ringing in the ears) • Loss of coordination • Dizziness • Agitated Depression • Memory Loss • Cant sleep • Bipolar Disorders… • Brain Fog… She notes this was taken from the book by DeGroot, The Thyroid and Its Diseases, 1996.

I will also post some audio clips from a speech by Mark Starr, MD, author of the book Type 2 Hypothyroidism. He tells a story about a woman who had taken 5 grains of thyroid per day, which is a large dose—one grain is equal to 65 mg—but when she went to a new doctor, he told her, Thats too much.

hey, I have this muscle cramps or what it is called, and problems gaining weight.
I asked my doc. about those spasms but all I got for answer was; “No there’s nothing we can do about that.”
All they are giving people in this country if they have spasms is calming pills, I certainly do not want to take som other pills that don’t helps me with the problem.
Is there any useful information about this, all thanks to answers. Especially from Dr.Larson.
Regards Larsen
@codda98 Same here with the cramps and gain. My memory started skipping around years ago and my doc offered me Ritalin. I wanted to weep at the ignorance.
All my symptoms have matched this for a few years and I need help now.

I so sorry you’ve felt this way for years.
I would contact Dr. Larson at her clinic and ask what they suggest.
